Go 20 kilometers – women (0.30 a.m.) and men (2.55 a.m.)
The penultimate World Cup day in Tokyo begins early. At 7.30 a.m. local time, the walkers start over 20 kilometers – without German participation. Leo Köpp and veteran Christopher Linke are among the men. Linke had missed the top 10 over 35 kilometers at the beginning of the World Cup – now it should go better.
Discus throwing men – qualification (2 a.m./3.35 a.m.)
A German trio wants to go to the discus throw final on Sunday (1.10 p.m., in the Livestream at Sportschau.de). Henrik Janssen, Mika Sosna, Steven Richter can all throw around 70 meters and get on closed. Mykolas Alekna from Lithuania is the best of the world year (75.56 meters), but is not inviolable. His first World Cup gold becomes hard work, the global tip is wide.
Mykolas Alekna is a candidate for discus gold.
Men (from 2:28 a.m.)
The Olympic runner-up Leo Neugebauer is one of the German medal hopes, but ex-world champion Niklas Kaul also has good cards in the Tokyo “Wundertüb” decathlon. Neugebauer has his strengths on the first day (100 meters, long jump, high jump and 400 meters), Kaul on the second. Till Steinforth completes the DLV trio. Olympic champion Markus Rooth from Norway is injured and not at the start. Above all, his compatriot Sander Skotheim and Kyle Garland (USA) have to be beaten.
H llaenkmittel women (4.35 a.m.)
After the first four disciplines, gold favorite Anna Hall from the USA is clearly in the lead. The British world champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson goes the third in the second day, Olympic champion Nafi Thiam from Belgium follows in sixth place. In the long jump, the javelin throw (12 p.m.) and finally over 800 meters (2:11 p.m.), the decision is made.
For the only 21-year-old German champion Sandrina Sprengel, a top 10 position seems possible after a strong first day. Vanessa Grimm, on the other hand, ended the competition prematurely.
4×400 meters – preliminary runs men (12.35 p.m.) and women (1 p.m.)
A German relay is not at the start for men. The US quartet is favored, it will be decisive in the final on Sunday (1:20 p.m., in the live stream at Sportschau.de). Botswana, Great Britain, Belgium and South Africa also provide strong seasons.
For women, anything but a US success would also be surprising. For the German quartet in the line -up Skadi Schier, Johanna Martin, Jana Lakner and Elisa Lechleitner, the move into the final would be a great success.
Shot put women – qualification (3 a.m.) and finals (12:54 p.m.)
Almost ten hours are between qualifications and finals for the shot puters. Olympic champion Yemisi Ogunleye is not necessarily a medal candidate a year after her triumph in Paris. The world -year best chase Jackson (USA), Jessica Schilder (Netherlands) and Sarah Mitton (Canada) are favored. Alina Kenzel and Katharina Maisch want to make it into the final.
4×100 meters – preliminary runs (1:25 p.m.) and women (1.45 p.m.)
ARD light athletics expert Frank Busemann trusts the German men’s relay to the final on Sunday (2.20 p.m., in the live stream at Sportschau.de). Deniz Almas, Marvin Schulte, Owen viewed and Lucas viewed will start for the DLV. The USA and Jamaica are the favorites.
Olympic bronze 2024, EM gold and World Cup bronze 2022-The German quartet around Galion figure Gina Lückenkemper can also ride a medal again this time. The USA, Jamaica and then Great Britain are favored, but behind it are nations like the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain – and also Germany. Sina Mayer, Rebekka Haase, Sophia Junk and Lückenkemper deny the preliminary in this order.
Spear throw women – final (2:05 p.m.)
The Japanese Olympic champion and defending champion Haruka Kitaguchi missed entering the home final. The best in qualification was the Serb Adriana Vilagos with 66.06 meters. The fight for gold, silver and bronze is open – and no DLV starter in the former German domain.
5000 meters of women – final (2:29 p.m.)
Olympic champion Beatrice Chebet ran the 5000 meters as the first woman under 14 minutes this summer. Your world record is 13: 58.06 minutes.

800 meters of men – final (3:22 p.m.)
Olympic champion Emmanuel Wanyonyi from Kenya and Canadian defending champion Marco Arop survived the semi -finals. In the final, however, the cards are mixed up, for the world’s fastest wanyonyi, the way to gold will not be easier.
